This game punishes you for playing solo. The call for backup feature is useless.

I lone wolfed it to level 30 and did a stronghold solo. I have not played with any friends despite most of them being actively on the game. I did not feel particularly punished, but then again, i had a lot of hours in the first game.

i'll say though, that i didn't feel i was making any progress in regards to getting any stronger until my character was like in the late 20 something levels. the scaling system they adopted for the sequel combined with how hard the enemies hit and flank, makes it hard to feel any power progress before you're nearing end game.

on another note, i should probably work my way to world tier 4 and start working on builds but i'll probably just level up a second character and not upgrade the crafting bench because the blue/purple skills mods require less skill power to use than the yellow ones.

Nah its easier solo IMO, much less enemies, once you have more than 1 it seems like the scaling is way off and they go overboard lol - took well over an hour for me and @Quasi to do the boat stronghold, it was crazy - far too many enemies IMO for 2 ppl, I done it with 4 people few days ago and that was nuts lol ha

Challenging missions are pretty much undoable at this point. Spent an hour trying to do the outcast stronghold on challenging for the daily and with 4 people all 450+ we could not clear the final part with destroying the boat. The purple and yellow enemies are hitting for 200-370k damage :stopitslime:

You can't even build for that kind of damage. I'm pretty much maxed out with my 157k armor and 91k health + health&armor on kill build.

What I hate about running with randoms is I always wind up on a squad with these pussies that run from the chargers with the shock sticks...

Running from them is the dumbest thing you can do...All you have to do is shoot them in the chest, when you run and let them flank us that's when chaos breaks out...

Thankfully my build is self sustainable but damn it's annoying running with fools...

Tidal Basin & WT5 launch April 5th
  • There will be some sort of story component to all this. Tidal Basin will unlock for a specific reason and it’s implied we’ll see some more cutscenes relating to how and why the world is expanding as Black Tusk retreats to its stronghold.
  • Tidal Basin is much larger with a much more involved boss fight than any stronghold before.
  • After completing Tidal Basin you will unlock World Tier 5 and Heroic difficulty for missions, which is one level above Challenging. Heroic difficulty has been described as “an act of cruelty” by the developers. It will not have unique rewards, but it will offer a wider range of higher GS gear than everything else as a reward.
  • After World Tier 5 is unlocked, there will be more Invaded missions that will rotate on a weekly basis and reset every week, with special rewards the first time you beat them that week. Supposedly there is a story reason behind why missions get re-invaded as well.
  • Tidal Basin will unlock three gear sets with more to follow. We have already seen the True Patriot set which stacks debuffs on enemies resulting in buffs for you, but the other two are being kept secret (unless they’ve leaked, I haven’t checked).

BREH....THIS

I love playing solo for the challenge.
But I have PTSD when it comes to trying to "STOP PUBLIC EXECUTIONS".

I mean, fukk. There is something about the way it's set up or designed that continues to put me in an unnaturally significant disadvantage.

If they are about to do a public execution, it isn't even logical behavior that these nikkas would be so ready and aggressive upon hearing shots come from somewhere. First thing that would happen would be they'd scramble away from the shots to get an idea of what is happening.

No...these nikkas straight up make a B LINE towards me on some ultra aggressive shyt. And somehow, I'm weirdly being surrounded on all sides. shyt is weird as fukk.

Just played a game of conflict and my team got goosed smh :russ::mjlol::francis: i need them nikkas to run it back :ufdup::demonic:
Breh, what are your thoughts on it?

I'm not fully understanding the "normalization". I still feel like my experience as an above average FPS & TPS competitive gamer falls to the gear shyt.

Too much shyt is going over my head regarding knowledge about gears set & crit damage and shyt.

This is why I don't do supply drops anymore. Not even worth it anyway. The last one I did was being secured by the black tusk.... I was like cool, let me wash these dumb asses right quick. NOPE.. when the battle started it alerted a broadcast super close by of outcasts AND an elite patrol of black tusk.... ALLLLL I know, is that at one point.. there were SIX elite drones in the air (which means there were THREE elite drone chicks somewhere) and all of them were coming for me.. not the outcast.. not the friendlies that did join.. ME. I said fukk that, and let allll six nades rain down on whoever got that work and dipped :russ:


Also.. prefire is a bytch :snoop:.

Only thing i figured out is that every team rolls as a group. Whoever gets the first person down and the numbers advantage is gonna win that encounter most of the time.

For those who snipe and using the 50 cal.... is it just me, or do some shots legit miss? The enemy will be well within range.. even body shots, just straight up DONT connect sometimes with the 50 cal. Damn near died and would have wasted 30 intel on a heroic bounty because of it smh

The sharpshooter rifle right?

Yea I noticed half my shots don't register with that shyt...

That's partly why I switched to demolition cuz that shyt was annoying me and I prefer the grenade launcher anyways...
